We put no stumbling block in anyone’s path, so that our ministry will not be discredited.

We don’t put anything in anyone’s way. So no one can find fault with our work for God.

We live in such a way that no one will stumble because of us, and no one will find fault with our ministry.

We are not giving anyone an occasion for offense, so that the ministry will not be blamed.

giving no reason for taking offense in anything, so that the ministry will not be discredited,

We give no offense in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed.

giving no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our ministration be not blamed;

We give no opportunity for stumbling to anyone, so that the ministry will not be blamed.

Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:

We do not give anyone an occasion for taking an offense in anything, so that no fault may be found with our ministry.

We give no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our service may not be blamed,

Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother.

If others share this rightful claim on you, do not we even more? Nevertheless, we have not made use of this right, but we endure anything rather than put an obstacle in the way of the gospel of Christ.

However, not to give offense to them, go to the sea and cast a hook and take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth you will find a shekel. Take that and give it to them for me and for yourself.”

Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God,just as I try to please everyone in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved.

To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some.

We take this course so that no one should blame us about this generous gift that is being administered by us,

“ All things are lawful,” but not all things are helpful.“ All things are lawful,” but not all things build up.Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor.

but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.

For our boast is this, the testimony of our conscience, that we behaved in the world with simplicity and godly sincerity, not by earthly wisdom but by the grace of God, and supremely so toward you.

But take care that this right of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak.For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating in an idol’s temple, will he not be encouraged, if his conscience is weak, to eat food offered to idols?And so by your knowledge this weak person is destroyed, the brother for whom Christ died.Thus, sinning against your brothers and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.Therefore, if food makes my brother stumble, I will never eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.
